Maybe..but then it goes on for longer.

Chapter 13 offers individuals a number of advantages over liquidation under chapter 7. Perhaps most significantly, chapter 13 offers individuals an opportunity to save their homes from foreclosure. By filing under this chapter, individuals can stop foreclosure proceedings and may cure delinquent mortgage payments over time. Nevertheless, they must still make all mortgage payments that come due during the chapter 13 plan on time.

Another advantage of chapter 13 is that it allows individuals to reschedule secured debts like cars (other than a mortgage for their primary residence) and extend them over the life of the chapter 13 plan. Doing this may lower the payments.

Chapter 13 also has a special provision that protects third parties who are liable with the debtor on "consumer debts." This provision may protect co-signers.

Finally, chapter 13 acts like a consolidation loan under which the individual makes the plan payments to a chapter 13 trustee who then distributes payments to creditors. Individuals will have no direct contact with creditors while under chapter 13 protection.

If you have saved 4000 for a down payment on a new car. The largest monthly payment you can afford is 3501. The loan will have a 12 APR based on end of month payments. What is the most expensive care?

To determine the most expensive car you can afford with a $4,000 down payment and a maximum monthly payment of $3,501 at a 12% APR, you can use the formula for the present value of an annuity. However, given the high monthly payment relative to the down payment, the most expensive car would be calculated by first finding the loan amount you can afford based on the monthly payment and interest rate. With these parameters, you could afford a car priced around $100,000, assuming a loan term of 60 months.
